What our visitors say about the castle

Yorkshire Dales Classic Car Club

From all of us at YDCCC a huge thank you for Sunday. Please thank all of the staff at the castle for being very kind and extremely helpful. Everyone who attended was very happy at the location for our picnic as you can imagine. It was also nice to see visitors having a look around the cars. Sadly with the arrival of the rain we had to leave in a hurry and did not get to thank the staff in person. So please pass on my thanks to all who helped to make our day a very special one. Look forward to visiting again in the future.

I just wanted to say my husband and I visited the Castle and thought it the most splendid place! From the staff, Tea Room, signage information so well presented, but one of my main reasons for contacting you was to say that Kelly, one of your members of staff excelled herself. We joined her for a bit of archery, managed to hit the board, my husband 86 and myself 77 didn’t do too badly! Her rapport and information with the Birds of Prey was second to none, she obviously loves her job, she is truly an asset to the Castle, thank you. Please pass on this email to the relevant source, thank you.

To Bolton Castle staff,

My father and I visited Bolton Castle today (Friday 21st July) and I wanted to express our gratitude for the wonderful experience we had. The Castle staff were all so friendly and welcoming.

I was most impressed with the Lad who facilitated the Falconry and Archery. His knowledge on the birds was phenomenal and his presence and confidence during his time showing the birds was wonderful to watch, we were really impressed.

We really appreciated his time spent answering questions and chatting with us and the other Castle guests.

Thank you so much for a great experience.

I rarely write emails like this but feel compelled to in this instance. We visited the castle on 29^th July, on a weekend when there were a number of volunteers demonstrating and talking about life in a Tudor household. It was absolutely brilliant. The patience of each person to talk us through different aspects of life and the amount of passion they had for the history was astonishing. The few hours we spent there was fantastic and we really want to come back.

I think it was Keith in the kitchen that mentioned they do this on four weekends a year, two for the Tudors and two for another period. Would it be possible to find out when they will be at the castle again?

Keep up the good work and please pass on our praise to the volunteers.
